It is crochet, I don't knit very well. I didn't really use a pattern but it wasn't really needed. I just made a hat and different sized circles for the holes, I used Vanna's Baby Choice. For the nose I used an H hook and a magic circle and crocheted 6 sc in the round and just continued that without increasing till I felt it was long enough. For the white part of the eyes I used an H hook and 12 dc in a round, then just dc twice in each dc for the second round. Then for the blue I did the same but I only did the one round, and then I just embroidered the pupils onto the blue irises.

It wasn't very difficult so that was nice because I haven't made many things from scratch before.

thanks everyone! i am so excited to give it too him at christmas, he is always weary of new hats but this is one i don't think he'll mind too much. i am trying to make some extra stuff for him because i have been making so many things for his new one-day-old baby sister.
